Cased CIVIL WAR Antique C. SHARPS .22 PEPPERBOX Wild West RIVERBOAT GAMBLER
Mfg. 1859-74 Model 1 Pocket Revolver w/ACCESSORIES
Here we present an antique Christian Sharps Model 1 Pepperbox Pistol, made during its production run between 1859 and 1874 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Christian Sharps invented his famously large bore, breech-loading rifle in 1848, after practicing gun-making under John Hall at Harpers Ferry Armory. In 1859, he premiered another unique design in the 4-barreled pepperbox pistol with a unique revolving firing pin, made for 19th Century concealed carry.
Over the decade and half that Sharps produced his little pistols, some 156,000+ would be manufactured in four basic types. They were the Model 1 in .22 Rimfire with about 89,000 produced, the Model 2 in .30 Rimfire with about 37,000 produced, the Model 3 made by Sharps & Hankins in .32 Rimfire Short with about 15,000 produced and the Model 4, which was the “Bird’s Head” grip in .32 Rimfire Short and Long with another 15,000 produced.
Included is a modern hardwood case with a cleaning rod and a box of Monark .22 short cartridges.
The overall condition is fine. Much original blue and nickel has been preserved. The action is strong although the firing pin rotates intermittently. Shiny bright bores with sharp rifling. Numbers match. Markings are legible. The case, cartridges, and accessories are in very good shape. Here is a set that’s hard to pass on in superb condition!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrels are 2-1/2 inches.
